Nothing like replying more than a year and a half later, right? The Horace Silver Quintet at Newport in 1958 included Louis Smith on trumpet, Junior Cook on tenor saxophone, Eugene Taylor on bass, and Louis Hayes on drums, and apparently you can see footage or buy a recording or whatever these things are from a Swedish company, as follows:
Tippin' Phontastic (Swd) PHONT NCD 8813
Various Artists - Newport Jazz Festival 1958, Vol. I: Mostly Miles (Phontastic (Swd) PHONT NCD 8813).
That information is from Horace Silver's discography, www.jazzdisco.org/silver/dis/c/ .
And yes, a lot of groups from Newport '58 hit the cutting-room floor, including those of Ray Charles, Miles Davis, Edward Kennedy "Duke" Ellington, Lee Konitz, Sonny Rollins, Joe Turner, and Randy Weston. Editor Aram Avakian's brother has stated that director / photographer Bert Stern botched the first day's filming, and Aram Avakian took over for the rest.
By the way, 22-year-old Henry Grimes played bass with no fewer than five groups in Newport '58: those of Sonny Rollins, Benny Goodman, Lee Konitz, Tony Scott, and Thelonious Monk (he can be seen in the film "Jazz on a Summer’s Day" playing with Mr. Monk and Roy Haynes -- not Max Roach). Yet Henry's name never appeared on the festival program at all. This is the kind of thing that will not happen again!
